ILA or tribal marks or AfricanTatoo is used in identifying one another amongst the various tribes in Africa. It symbolizes their profession, noble birth, royalty, ancestry, family traditions, social class, religion, slavery, beauty and tribes. Although it's almost outfaced these days as its being replaced by western tattoos. Ila is very much part of our rich cultural heritage. It's for old and young, male and female, can be on the face or body it is our very own THING! Although now modernized into tattoos yet we still embrace and ROCK! it.
